Shine On Harvest Moon

(Bayes/Norworth)


(spoken) Thank you! I gotta tell you something, wait a minute! Thank--thank you! I must tell you something, please wait a minute! I thank you so much, I can't even tell ya about it. I can't discuss it, I don't want to discuss it. I am so honored, and I'm so grateful, I'll never forget this night as long as I live, ever! Thank you!

The night was mighty dark, so you could hardly see
For the moon refused to shine
Couple settin' underneath a willow tree
For love they pined

Little maid was kinda 'fraid of darkness
So she said, "I guess I'll go"
Boy began to sigh, looked up at the sky
Told the moon his little tale of woe

Shine on, shine on harvest moon up in the sky
I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July
Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon

Don't make me wait too long
My love for you is much too strong
I ain't had lovin',
I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July
When all the skies are gray
I wanna go inside and stay
So light up, light up
Fast or slow, come at that glow and

Shine on harvest moon
Well I need some love again
I ain't had none since lord knows when
Snow time ain't no time to stay outside and try to spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon
For me, for me and my gal
Cast that light fair and fine
Harvest bright moon of mine (note: uncertain of the words on this line)
Harvest moon, come on, come on, come on
Shine!
